Comfort and robustness for Iberian horses
The Iberian saddle, designed for comfort and durability, is ideal for Iberian and Baroque-type horses. Its wide stirrup bars and deep seat provide excellent stability and optimal support, which are essential for working rides, traditional riding, or long treks over varied terrain.
Materials and manufacturing
Made from selected laminated beech wood, the saddle tree offers the rigidity required for Iberian horses. The secure stirrup bars and reinforced structure guarantee significant durability, even with intensive use. The handcrafted manufacturing process ensures millimeter precision in the assembly.
Dimensions and adjustments
The dimensions of the saddle tree are crucial. The right length, width, and gullet are essential to ensure the comfort and safety of both rider and horse.
Below are the standard dimensions available :
| Length (mm) | 470 · 485 · 500 · 515 · 530 |
| Width (mm) | 270 |
| Twist (mm) | 160 |
A range of sizes to suit the majority of equine morphologies, with the possibility of customized adaptations.
The dimensions of the saddle tree must be determined based on the horse’s build. Even with a standard saddle tree, these measurements allow the saddler to select the size and shape best suited to the horse.
As part of a custom project, L’Arçonnerie Française provides a comprehensive, illustrated, and detailed guide to measuring a horse’s back.

Customization and options
The Iberian saddle tree is offered without standard options in order to guarantee a technical base that is faithful to the requirements of this traditional shape. Any customizations are made exclusively on request, through study and direct consultation with the saddler, in order to precisely meet the needs of the horse and rider.
Standard options (available online)
-
Stirrup bars : PE22 (securely mounted on cap) or delivered without stirrup bars
These configurations cover most of the needs of saddle makers and result in a perfectly functional saddle tree that is ready to be incorporated into the manufacture of a saddle.
Custom options (available upon request via the contact form)
- Custom dimensions, made according to measurements taken by the saddler.
- Custom-made cantle, crafted according to the saddler's specifications
Recommendations for use
The Iberian saddle tree, made of laminated wood, offers excellent structural stability. To preserve its qualities over time, it is recommended to store it in an environment with constant temperature and humidity. As with any natural material, paying particular attention to exposure to water and extreme weather conditions will ensure its longevity.
The adjustment must be carried out carefully, and the type of saddle envisaged and its use (intensive work, competition, leisure) are also factors to be taken into account.
Historical background and know-how
The Iberian Saddle Tree is inspired by the traditional saddle trees used on the Iberian Peninsula, adapted to the specific morphology of Andalusian and Lusitano horses. This regional influence, enriched by French expertise, results in a unique product combining authenticity and modernity.
Conclusion
With its robustness, comfortable design, the Iberian tree is the perfect solution for saddlers wishing to produce saddles for Baroque horses that combine tradition and innovation.
Handcrafted products
Made-to-measure and 100% French. Handcrafted in our own workshop, each tree is adjusted according to the saddler's precise requirements. L'Arçonnerie Française guarantees quality craftsmanship, in the French saddlery tradition.
